Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Kubota KB185 is a small but mighty utility tractor, perfect for light farm work and landscaping. This sub-compact model was made by Kubota, a well-known Japanese tractor company, from 2008 to 2009. It has a 4-wheel drive system and power steering, making it easy to handle in tight spaces.

Under the hood, the KB185 has a Kubota D1005 diesel engine with three cylinders. The engine is liquid-cooled and puts out 18.2 horsepower, which is on the lower end compared to other tractors. However, it makes up for this with its high engine speed of 2600 rpm, which is above average. The tractor has a 9-speed power shift transmission for both forward and reverse gears, giving the driver lots of options. It's pretty small, measuring 92.3 inches long, 41.3 inches wide, and 74.8 inches tall. The KB185 weighs 1532 pounds, which is lighter than most tractors. It has good ground clearance at 13.8 inches, helping it move over rough ground easily.
